Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines porösen Leichtkeramikmaterials für Bauzwecke nach dem einleitenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1 und dessen Verwendung.The invention relates to a method for producing a porous light ceramic material for building purposes according to the introductory part of claim 1 and its use.

Leichtbaumaterialien auf Kalk- und Zementbasis sind bereits als sogenannter « Porenbeton »oder « Schaumbeton » bekannt geworden. Dabei werden üblicherweise Mischungen von Calciumoxid, Siliciumdioxid und Wasser unter Zugabe von Schaum, oder aber in aufgeschäumtem Zustand, autoklavgehärtet.Lime and cement-based lightweight construction materials have already become known as so-called “aerated concrete” or “foam concrete”. Mixtures of calcium oxide, silicon dioxide and water are usually autoclaved with the addition of foam, or else in the foamed state.

Bekannte poröse Leichtbaumaterialien, wie sie beispielsweise aus der EP-A-0 007 585 bekannt sind, besitzen zwar zufriedenstellende Festigkeits- und sonstige für Bauzwecke wichtige Eigenschaften, wie geringes Gewicht, sind jedoch in der Herstellung für zahlreiche Anwendungszwecke allzu kostenaufwendig. Aus der US-A-4 424 280 ist ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art bekannt, bei dem ein Schlicker, bestehend aus Ton, Schäumungsmittel und weiteren Zuschlagstoffen, aufgeschäumt, getrocknet und gebrannt wird, wobei eine Steuerung der Viskosität durch den Zusatz von Methylzellulose erfolgt, jedoch weist das damit herstellbare Material bei Verwendung für Bauzwecke keine in vollem Umfang befriedigenden Produkteigenschaften, insbesondere hinsichtlich Porosität und mechanischer Stabilität, auf.Known porous lightweight materials, such as are known for example from EP-A-0 007 585, have satisfactory strength and other properties important for construction purposes, such as low weight, but are too expensive to manufacture for numerous applications. A process of the type mentioned at the outset is known from US Pat. No. 4,424,280, in which a slip consisting of clay, foaming agent and other additives is foamed, dried and fired, the viscosity being controlled by the addition of methyl cellulose , however, the material that can be produced when used for construction purposes does not have fully satisfactory product properties, in particular with regard to porosity and mechanical stability.

Aus der FR-A 2 190 753 ist ein Verfahren zum Schäumen einer wässrigen Mischung von Tonmaterialien, Bindemitteln und Tensiden mittels Druckluft im offenen System, also ohne Druck, bekannt, wobei das danach herstellbare Material jedoch keine befriedigenden Produkteigenschaften bezüglich Wärme und/oder Schallisolierung sowie Feuerfestigkeit hat. Bei einem aus der FR-A-2 088 455 bekannten Verfahren, bei dem einer Tonmischung ein bereits vorgefertigtes Schaumgemisch beigemengt wird, lassen sich ebenfalls keine befriedigenden Porositäts-, Dichte- und Festigkeitseigenschaften erzielen.From FR-A 2 190 753 a method for foaming an aqueous mixture of clay materials, binders and surfactants by means of compressed air in an open system, i.e. without pressure, is known, but the material that can be produced thereafter does not have satisfactory product properties with regard to heat and / or sound insulation and Has fire resistance. In a method known from FR-A-2 088 455, in which an already prefabricated foam mixture is admixed to a clay mixture, satisfactory porosity, density and strength properties cannot be achieved either.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, das eingangs genannte Verfahren dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß ein poröses Leichtkeramikmaterial hergestellt werden kann, welches sich sowohl als Leichtzuschlagstoff als auch zur Herstellung von Formkörpem, Ziegeln, insbesondere auch für Wärme- und/oder Schallisolierzwecke und für feuerfeste Bauzwecke eignen und mit einfachen Ausgangsmaterialien in preisgünstiger Verfahrensführung zu druckfesten, leichten Formkörpem führen soll, wobei die danach hergestellten Produkte verbesserte Porositäts- und mechanische Eigenschaften aufweisen sollen.The invention is therefore based on the object of developing the method mentioned at the outset such that a porous light ceramic material can be produced which can be used both as a light aggregate and for the production of moldings, bricks, in particular also for heat and / or sound insulation purposes and for refractory construction purposes suitable and with simple starting materials in an inexpensive process to lead to pressure-resistant, lightweight moldings, the products produced thereafter should have improved porosity and mechanical properties.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst. Besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsformen des Verfahrens nach der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der auf den Patentanspruch 1 zurückbezogenen Unteransprüche. Schließlich betrifft die Erfindung auch die Verwendung des nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellten Materials in massiver und/oder Granulatform als wärme- und/oder schallisolierender Werkstoff für Bauzwecke, aber auch als Zuschlagstoff für Hochtemperatur-Baustoffe, wie Ofenbaustoffe, feuerfeste Baustoffe oder dergleichen.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features listed in the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Particularly preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention are the subject of the subclaims which refer back to patent claim 1. Finally, the invention also relates to the use of the material produced by the process according to the invention in solid and / or granulate form as a heat and / or sound-insulating material for building purposes, but also as an additive for high-temperature building materials, such as furnace building materials, refractory building materials or the like.

Falls aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen ein Produkt mit besonders hohen Rohfestigkeiten gewünscht wird, wie dies insbesondere bei Produktionseinheiten, die die Abmessungen von Ziegelsteingrößen überschreiten, der Fall sein kann, ist es besonders vorteilhaft, ein hydraulisches Bindemittel, wie Zement, zuzusetzen. Als Ton lassen sich einfacher Ziegelton und Mergel, jedoch auch Westerwälder Steinzeugton, Feinsteinzeugton, Kaolin, Montmorillonit oder Betonit verwenden. Es ist besonders wirtschaftlich, daß bei dem Verfahren nach der Erfindung nach dem Trocknen nicht zufriedenstellende Formkörper bzw. - bei Granualtherstellung - anfallende Tonschaumgranulatfeinanteile, die bei Siebverfahren ausgeschieden werden, ohne weitere Behandlung direkt in die Ausgangsmischung zurückgeführt werden können, da sie lediglich getrocknet und nicht gebrannt sind und somit noch völlig reaktionsfähig vorliegen.If a product with particularly high raw strengths is desired for manufacturing reasons, as can be the case in particular in production units that exceed the dimensions of brick sizes, it is particularly advantageous to add a hydraulic binder, such as cement. Simple clay and marl can be used as clay, but also Westerwald stoneware clay, porcelain stoneware clay, kaolin, montmorillonite or concrete. It is particularly economical that in the process according to the invention, after drying, unsatisfactory moldings or - in the case of granule production - fine clay foam granulate particles which are eliminated in the screening process can be returned directly to the starting mixture without further treatment, since they are only dried and not are burned and are therefore still fully reactive.

Üblicherweise verläuft das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren derart, daß Ton mit Wasser und Verflüssigungsmittel unter Tensidzugabe zu einer wasserarmen, thixotropen Suspension angerührt wird. Anschließend erfolgt dann die Aufschäumung in einer Dispergieranlage unter Zugabe von Pressluft. Dabei können herkömmliche Dispergieranlagen, wie sie beispielsweise unter der Handelsbezeichnung « Hansa-Mixer » durch die Firma Hansawerke Lürman, Schütte & Co., Bremen, vertrieben werden, eingesetzt werden, welche unter Druck (1 bis 10 bar) definierte Mengen Druckluft zusetzen. Die Dispergieranlage weist dabei eine weitere Feindosierpumpe auf, mittels welcher Flüssigkeit vor und gegebenenfalls während des Schäumvorganges zugegeben werden kann. Vorteilhafterweise wird bei der Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens eine der Verflüssigungswirkung des Verflüssigungsmittels entgegenwirkende Substanz eingesetzt, beispielsweise verdünnte Salzsäure, wodurch es möglich wird, hochviskose, thixotrope, eigenstabile Schaum-Suspensionen herzustellen.The process according to the invention usually proceeds in such a way that clay is mixed with water and plasticizer with the addition of surfactant to form a low-water, thixotropic suspension. Then the foaming takes place in a dispersion system with the addition of compressed air. Conventional dispersing systems, such as those sold under the trade name “Hansa Mixer” by the company Hansawerke Lürman, Schütte & Co., Bremen, can be used, which add defined amounts of compressed air under pressure (1 to 10 bar). The dispersion system has a further fine metering pump, by means of which liquid can be added before and, if necessary, during the foaming process. When carrying out the process according to the invention, a substance which counteracts the liquefaction action of the liquefying agent is advantageously used, for example dilute hydrochloric acid, which makes it possible to produce highly viscous, thixotropic, inherently stable foam suspensions.

Die eigenstabile, thixotrope Schaum-Suspension wird sodann getrocknet, wobei der Wasserdampf aufgrund der hohen Eigenporosität des Materials ungehindert durch die Poren austreten kann. Dabei ist es insbesondere förderlich, wenn die Ausgangsmaterialmischung einen relativ geringen Wassergehalt aufweist. Üblicherweise wird das getrocknete Material in Strängen von etwa 1 cm Durchmesser vorgelegt, wobei bei Temperaturen von 200°C beispielsweise mit Trockenzeiten von nicht mehr als 5 Minuten gearbeitet werden kann. Dieses getrocknete Material wird vor dem Brennen zu Granulat zerkleinert.The inherently stable, thixotropic foam suspension is then dried, the water vapor being able to escape unhindered through the pores due to the high inherent porosity of the material. It is particularly beneficial if the starting material mixture has a relatively low water content. The dried material is usually placed in strands of about 1 cm in diameter, it being possible, for example, to work at temperatures of 200 ° C. with drying times of no more than 5 minutes. This dried mate rial is crushed into granules before firing.

Bedingt durch die Porosität des Materials, ist vor allem beim Brennen von Körpern mit kleinen Abmessungen ebenfalls ein sehr günstiges Arbeiten, ähnlich wie beim Trocknen, möglich. Bei 1400 °C Ofentemperatur, einer Materialtemperatur zwischen 800 und 1200 °C entsprechend, können innerhalb von weniger als 5 Minuten Brennzeit, eingeschlossen Auf- und Abheizzeiten, Leichtkeramikmaterialien für Bauzwecke hergestellt werden. Eine Behandlung bei höherer Temperatur ist für die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung des Materials für Bauzwecke besonders erwünscht, da dabei besonders günstige Festigkeitseigenschaften erhalten werden können.Due to the porosity of the material, especially when burning bodies with small dimensions, it is also possible to work very cheaply, similar to drying. At 1400 ° C oven temperature, corresponding to a material temperature between 800 and 1200 ° C, light ceramic materials for construction purposes can be produced within less than 5 minutes, including heating up and cooling down times. Treatment at a higher temperature is particularly desirable for the use of the material according to the invention for construction purposes, since particularly favorable strength properties can be obtained.

Natürlich wird die Menge der übrigen Zuschlagsstoffe, beispielsweise bei der Herstellung von feuerfesten Baustoffen, in zweckentsprechender Weise eingestellt, also Zusatz von Tonerde, Magnesit, Quarz und dergleichen, wie es die jeweiligen Anwendungszwecke in diesem Fall erfordern.Of course, the amount of the other additives, for example in the production of refractory building materials, is set appropriately, that is to say the addition of alumina, magnesite, quartz and the like, as required by the respective application in this case.

Der Erfindung liegt die überraschende Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß es gelingt, ein Produkt mit gegenüber dem Stand der Technik wesentlich verbesserten Eigenschaften der weiter oben angebenen Art herzustellen, indem im geschlossenen System unter Druck mittels definierter Druckluftzufuhr geschäumt wird, woraus sich die wünschenswerten Porositäts- und mechanischen Eigenschaften ergeben.The invention is based on the surprising finding that it is possible to produce a product with properties of the type specified above which are significantly improved over the prior art by foaming in a closed system under pressure by means of a defined compressed air supply, which results in the desirable porosity and mechanical properties Properties.

Ein ähnliches Verfahren wie dasjenige nach der Erfindung, gerichtet auf die Herstellung eines porösen Ad- bzw. Absorptionsmaterials, ist Gegenstand der EP-B-0 182 793 gleichen Zeitrangs.A process similar to that according to the invention, directed to the production of a porous adsorbing material, is the subject of EP-B-0 182 793 of the same priority.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels und unter Bezugnahme auf die schematische Zeichnung im einzelnen erläutert.The invention is explained in detail below using an exemplary embodiment and with reference to the schematic drawing.

Die aus einer einzigen Figur bestehende Zeichnung zeigt dabei ein Flußdiagramm der Verfahrensführung nach der Erfindung.The drawing, which consists of a single figure, shows a flow diagram of the method according to the invention.

Beispielexample

500 kg Mergel und 400 kg zerkleinerter, getrockneter Schaumton, hergestellt durch Zerkleinern verworfener, getrockneter, noch nicht gebrannter Schaumtonformlinge, 200 I Wasser sowie 120 g Natriumpolyphosphat und 100 g Natriumdodecylsulfonat wurden in einem Dispergierer, wie er durch die Firma Hansawerke, Bremen, hergestellt wird, bei 3 bar unter Druck mit Preßluft aufgeschäumt. Das geschäumte Produkt wurde in Plattenformen gegossen, in einen Trockenofen gefahren und bei 200 °C 10 Minuten getrocknet. Die getrockneten Schaumtonformlinge wurden aus den Formen genommen und in üblicher Art und Weise in einem herkömmlichen Brennofen bei einer Temperatur von etwa 1000 °C (Produkttemperatur ; die Ofentemperatur betrug etwa 1400 °C) 7 Minuten gebrannt. Es wurden gelbbraune Leichtkeramikplatten erhalten, welche folgende Kenndaten hatten :

  • pH-Wert: 7-8
  • Porendurchmesser : < 1 mm
  • Rohdichte ca. 0,6 g/cm3
500 kg of marl and 400 kg of crushed, dried foam clay, produced by crushing discarded, dried, not yet fired foam clay moldings, 200 l of water and 120 g of sodium polyphosphate and 100 g of sodium dodecyl sulfonate were produced in a disperser, as is produced by the company Hansawerke, Bremen , foamed at 3 bar under pressure with compressed air. The foamed product was poured into sheet molds, placed in a drying oven and dried at 200 ° C for 10 minutes. The dried foam clay moldings were removed from the molds and baked in a conventional manner in a conventional kiln at a temperature of about 1000 ° C. (product temperature; the oven temperature was about 1400 ° C.) for 7 minutes. Yellow-brown light ceramic plates were obtained, which had the following characteristics:
  • pH: 7-8
  • Pore diameter: <1 mm
  • Gross density approx. 0.6 g / cm 3

Die Vorteile des derart hergestellten Produktes bestehen in hoher Wärmedämmungswirkung, Schalldämmwirkung und geringer Hygroskopizität. Derartige Platten oder Formsteine können als Ersatz für Glasfaserwolle, Asbestfasem oder Steinwolle oder Hartschaumstoff auf Polystyrolbasis zur thermischen Isolierung als Dämmaterial, aber auch als Vekleidungsplatten sowie für Leichttrennwände eingesetzt werden, wenn geringes Raumgewicht aufgrund ungenügender Belastbarkeit des Untergrundes notwendig ist.The advantages of the product manufactured in this way are high thermal insulation, sound insulation and low hygroscopicity. Such plates or shaped stones can be used as a replacement for glass fiber wool, asbestos fibers or rock wool or rigid foam based on polystyrene for thermal insulation as an insulating material, but also as cladding panels and for light partition walls if a low density is required due to the inadequate resilience of the substrate.

Durch die Zugabe von hydraulischen Bindem, wie Zement, können noch weiter verbesserte Festigkeitswerte ohne Einbuße der günstigen Eigenschaften, nämlich leichtes Gewicht und preiswerte Herstellung, erzielt werden.By adding hydraulic binders such as cement, even further strength values can be achieved without sacrificing the favorable properties, namely light weight and inexpensive production.

Als Verflüssigungsmittel können beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren beispielsweise Wasserglas, Calciumpolyphosphat, Natriumpolyphosphat, Phosporsäure, Chloride oder Sulfate eingesetzt werden. Als hydraulisches Bindemittel kann zur Erzielung einer höheren Rohfestigkeit vorzugsweise Zement zugesetzt werden. Bei der Herstellung von Leichtzuschlagsstoffen, wie sie im Baubereich beispielsweise bei Betonen und ähnlichem eingesetzt werden, sind Granulate zweckmäßig, die nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren dadurch gewonnen werden können, daß die getrockneten Formkörper durch einen Brecher zu einer Siebanlage geführt werden, welche einen bevorzugten Korngrößenbereich zurückbehält und Feinanteile verwirft, die sodann wieder zum Mischer rückgeführt werden können, wie dies aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich ist.As a liquefier, for example, water glass, calcium polyphosphate, sodium polyphosphate, phosphoric acid, chlorides or sulfates can be used in the process according to the invention. Cement can preferably be added as the hydraulic binder in order to achieve a higher raw strength. In the production of lightweight aggregates, such as those used in the construction sector, for example in concretes and the like, granules are expedient which can be obtained by the process according to the invention in that the dried moldings are passed through a crusher to a screening plant which retains a preferred particle size range and discards fines, which can then be returned to the mixer, as can be seen from the drawing.
